Description:Until recently, Singapore has been synonymous with high economic growth and skilful political control. Synonymous with Singapore has been Lee Kuan Yew, Prime Minister since 1959.No Man is an Island is essential reading for all who want to understand the unusual life and character of Lee Kuan Yew and for all who want to probe beneath the brilliant surface of Singapore's achievements.The book is the fruit of many years' independent research. It iswritten by an Australian who first went to Singapore in 1968 and soon became fascinated with her people and the role played by Lee Kuan Yew in reshaping their world.Unlike earlier studies which were either too favourable or too hostile, No Man is an Island presents an even-handed approach. It does not claim to offer the only definitive interpretation of the evidence available, but it does pursue a consistently questioning line. Based on interviews with more than seventy politicians and activists involved in making modern Singapore, the book provides thought-provoking insights into a man who has long dominated his own society whilst managing to play a global role disproportionate to the tiny island republic's size.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
